Dear Mr Prashant Sharma, Thanks for your response. At least I have confirmed about this from some other friends in Srinagar as well. The thing what happens is as soon as newsx broadcasts any news about current crises in Kashmir, we see a blank screen full of dots. This also happens to some other local news channels which currently are completely stopped to broadcast any news about J&K, which I personally believe is just to "stop people to know what is happening in valley". Being the citizen of democratic India, I believe that we all have right to know what is happening in our valley and even other citizens of India shall know the whole truth. We are suffering like anything and people are running out of food supplies and essential medicines. And I believe journalism based on truth is the only way people in valley and other parts of India know and feel our pain. Best Regards, Zahoor Khan A Responsible citizen of India

Paa-Movie Review

ZANJEER broke the shackles after 13 consecutive flops. AGNEEPATH was an experiment that had a class of its own. BLACK broke all barriers and now comes PAA. Let's give a standing ovation to the man who dominated the 80s and 90s and continues to surprise with his talent and willingness to subject himself to roles that require make-up for a complete change in appearance. Mr Amitabh Bachchan, for you Sir... the applause refuses to die off...

Playing a 13-year-old with a rare disease which causes him to age before time, Amitabh is class personified. Displaying an amazing flair and getting into character is like a cake-walk for him as Progeria (the disease he suffers from) ravages his tiny body. A special child with special abilities, Auro immediately makes a special place in your heart as you follow his short and brilliant life.

No self pity, just full of masti a kid his age would be. Auro has friends who form his support system apart from his mother (Vidya Balan) and his grandma who he lovingly calls 'Bum'

R Balakrishnan (aka R Balki) has tackled a very complex subject and has brought out the beauty of relationships in a very forceful manner without even one relationship in the movie going over the top. Be it the relationship between Vidya and Auro; Auro and his Bum, Auro and his friends or even Amol Arte (Abhishek Bachchan) and his dad (Paresh Rawal). Though centered around Auro and his disorder, Balki manages to draw all relationships to the fore.

Balki also manages to throw a positive light on sticky issues. Although he gets the point of the over-enthusiastic media, use of condoms, abortion and the political angle in, he does not sound preachy.

Christien Tinsley and Dominie Till turn a 66-year-old-plus Amitabh to a very believable 13-year-old with their prosthetic make-up. And Amitabh, with his walking, talking and body language draws you even closer to Auro creating that Aura. Nothing flashy. He just delivers his lines like any, normal 13-year-old would.

Really, this movie is all about Auro and a kid that explodes from Amitabh. Vidya Balan is sedate and super in her role as the caring single mother. Abhishek is solid as the politician who will not let anything come between his dreams and Auro's friend, Vishnu is a treat.

Not much was revealed of the story before the release and I too will not spoil it for you by saying much. All I can say is that the end will have you reaching out for the kleenex.

Yes, Abhishek is his Paa. Yes, it's a rare father-son-son-father story. Yes, I think the makers should also consider putting a proposal to making PAA tax free. Also every paa should take his family for this movie.

Paa kasam, this film will rock you.

"The Night was Dark and Rain was Cold", True story of a dark night by kapil from Noida

Defeat is not when we fall Down, But when we refuse to get up.Victory is not when we win a battle, But when we win the heart.

I took That 730 Bus from Office and Got Down at Atta to buy some Painting Stuff and Sheets. Ate my dinner at Subway, Pulled out 2K from ATM and started for my home in a Rik. Then it start Raining so I stopped the Rik under the Metro station near IOC. But sensing it can take lot of time and probably I should reach home ASAP, I asked the Ric to keep moving . But the rain got heavier and I decided to get off the Rik and Take an Auto. So I left the Ric and start asking autos to Go to my home, but nobody agreed. Suddenly a Tata Indica came and (out of desperation) I thought it may be an empty Taxi which can drop me near my home, So I approached it and . . . .The night was Getting Darker and rain was getting sweeter, when suddenly I find myself Kidnapped by 4 Strong Men. Sitting in the middle seat at the back of Tata Indica after a Scuffle which left my Face swollen and Right Eye Dark. Gun Came Out and Was pointing Below My Arm pit and the tension in Air got thicker and Thicker. There was no way out by Physical force and only way out was to Emotionally Grip them (that is what I thought) .I started telling them, “Let’s be Brothers or Friends” , as your Brother I understand what u are doing and feel whatever you are doing is Correct and justify. My intention was to make them feel that they are correct and I am not going to do anything to them. Immediate reaction was the verbal abuse stopped and there was abuse from then onwards (a positive sign).But they were still griping my shoulders and elbow. Then they searched my wallet and took all the money (some Rs 2000). They got hold of my ATM card and 2 American express cards (one of which was expired).I told them I was a student having an align father back home.Then The Bag Was Searched, which Gave them the Camera, Bose Headphones, Swiss knife, Goggles, And The Mobile (and they took my Gym Shorts too). Now they have 3 cards, The ATM card was taken and Asked to revile the PIN code which I have to( they told me if the pin is wrong, then they will kill me). Other 2 cards were Credit cards one out of which was expired( I don’t know why I was carrying it, But it helped me to prove the cards are not good at all) so they returned the credit cards their and then.They were now searching for the ATM which is on the Road, and reached somewhere Near FORTIS hospital in sector 62. The Car stopped , Person in front got down and car start moving again. We move 2 KM ahead and take a U turn and came back to the same place where that person has got down, only to pick him up, But on the Other side of the Road. Now they have pulled out Rs 40,000 from the ATM. Now First question they asked was if you are student how come you have this much money in your account????My answer was straight, to pay the Fees.I was feeling relived that now I will be freed and the Ordeal of talking to them in Good way will end. But the real trouble was ahead…………….Since the Account balance was Displayed on the slip of ATM which was some 47000, So they decided to keep me till Next day at least, so they decided to move away from Noida till 12 PM. And they start moving towards Ghaziabad and Meerut. So the challenge was to hold the 4 brains not to cross the Red line while moving towards that region. So have to start talking to them. I asked them which Game do they play. After a big laughter they sat the play the only game of Girls. So I asked which game they like and Cricket was the answer. And so kept talking about their interests in Cricket , Bodybuilding, Gyms, Diets, Girls, The Jokes, Their Great friendship. I was getting psyched off by that fabricated laughs and constructed phrases which I was using to be in line with themThe clock on the dashboard was still showing 10:30, I could feel how slow the time was moving. But on the back of mind I didn’t know what was I waiting for the Final 90 minutes of my life or fine 90 minutes of my captivity. Right Side of my face was badly swollen and I was asking for water again and again to wash of the blood. They kept telling me their tails of bravery over policemen, Auto walas , and the Girls in their life. They kept telling me to ask them for help from them anytime if I need, be it in Disk or some gym or some police.I kept asking them in-between that if they drop me here then can I get an auto or bus to go back home? Every time reply was, will drop me near my home.At 11:45 we make a U turn and assumed we are moving back, They bought bear and chips and water on the way back. Now after some time we reached back to noida again. And searching for another ATM. They started trying ATM again and again but were not able to pull out any money. They kept trying till 1:30 from different ATMs in Delhi and Noida But were not able to get the Cash.It Was 1:30 In the Morning and they Dropped me in a deserted place without any Light and all Rain, With Rs 100 to go back to Home. I walked 50 Meters and stopped a Tempo(TATA ACE) and requested to drop me to wherever he can drop me. He dropped me some 2 Km From My place and I walked back to home, I give him that Rs 100 which those people have given me. At the end I with 0 Cash, No phone but was still alive to share this with you.The Night Was Really Dark and Rain was Cold.Now where was I wrong or why was I wrong?I approached the Taxi is my First Fault.I was Desperate to move to home which lead to that Approach to Taxi.I wish You all to be careful and not to let your Guard down not only in Noida but everywhere. This is just a one type of example which happened with me but there are many examples everywhere.Take Care and Stay Alive
